"Service advisor was brilliant at his job. Advised on Work that could be done in the near future but wasn’t pushy. Customer service and contact before and throughout the process was great too. I Recommend imperial !"

"Put my '96 Volvo 850 in for its MOT and while I knew there would be some repairs to get it roadworthy the final bill was not something I could justify for an old banger. I wasn't pressured to take the work (which has been my experience in other places) and they were really friendly and approachable. Would take my next car there!"

"I opted for the full service together with the MoT as my car is now 10 years old. Staff were helpful and explained everything up front from initial booking to collection of the car. I cannot fault the work, the car runs well now and I think it was good value for money."

How do shock absorbers work?

When you're driving on a bumpy surface,
your car's shock absorbers help to stop the car moving about and vibrating too much.

They are installed on your car's suspension and most cars have a shock absorber
for each wheel.
Although they don't support the weight of your vehicle, they control the suspension over rough surfaces,
keeping the tyres in full contact with the road at all times.

They also absorb the impact of up and down movements for the rear suspension
(not many cars have a rear axle) and front suspension components.

A piston inside the shock absorber moves up and down along with the suspension
and springs to absorb the energy from the road.
Hydraulic fluid or air chambers in the shock absorbers absorb excess energy.

About Volvo

Straight out of the Swedish city of Gothenberg, Volvo has become well-known for pushing out safe, reliable cars, making them one of the vehicles of choice for families around the globe. Initially made all the way back in 1924 to withstand the rigours of Sweden’s rough roads and cold temperatures, you could say they’ve come a long way!

The current Volvo range focusses mainly on traditional vehicle platforms, including hatchbacks, saloons, SUVs and estate cars. The ‘XC’ models cater to drivers who regularly get their cars a bit muddy and dirty off-road, while the ‘Cross Country’ versions are available for people going for a more traditional combination of on and off-road ability
